 * Hello,
 * I am creating a landing page and I cannot seem to get the shortcode to work on

 * I found the following PHP code:
 * > `<?php echo do_shortcode( $content ) ?>`
 * And modified it like so:
 * > `<?php echo do_shortcode( [vfb id='1'] ) ?>`
 * But with that I get a fatal error. I’d assume I’m not using it correctly. Please
   help!
